SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) is considering issuance of a
license amendment to the Department of
the Army (Army or licensee) for License
No. SUB–1435. The amendment would
authorize an alternate decommissioning
schedule pursuant to 10 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) part 40.42(g)(2), for
the Army to conduct site
characterization and prepare and submit
a decommissioning plan for its facility
at Jefferson Proving Ground, Madison,
Indiana. NRC has prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) in
support of this action in accordance
with the requirements of 10 CFR part
51. Based on the EA, the NRC has
concluded that a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) is
appropriate.

II. EA Summary
The purpose of this proposed action
is to amend Radioactive Materials
License SUB–1435 to allow the Army to
VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:27 Mar 14, 2006 Jkt 208001
13435
decommission its Jefferson Proving
Ground facility using an alternate
schedule for submittal of a
decommissioning plan pursuant to 10
CFR part 40.42(g)(2). The Army is
requesting a 5-year period to
characterize the site and submit a
decommissioning plan. The Army’s
request is contained in a letter to NRC
dated May 25, 2005.
The NRC staff has determined that all
steps in the proposed site
characterization could be accomplished
in compliance with the NRC public and
occupational dose limits and effluent
release limits. In addition, the staff has
concluded that approval of the alternate
decommissioning schedule would not
result in a significant adverse
radiological or non-radiological impact
on the environment.
If the NRC approves the license
amendment, the authorization will be
documented in an amendment to NRC
License No. SUB–1435. However, before
approving the proposed amendment, the
NRC will need to make the findings
required by the Atomic Energy Act of
1954, as amended, and NRC’s
regulations. These findings will be
documented in a Safety Evaluation
Report in addition to the EA.
III. Finding of No Significant Impact
The staff has prepared the EA
(summarized above) in support of the
Army’s proposed alternate schedule for
submittal of a decommissioning plan.
The NRC staff has concluded that there
will be no significant adverse
environmental impacts associated with
approving the Army’s license
amendment request. On the basis of the
EA, the NRC has concluded that the
environmental impacts from the action
are expected to be insignificant and has
determined not to prepare an
environmental impact statement for the
action.
